Assessment Week for Phy 3.7 Socio-Scientific Issue

Then Introduction of Errors for Phy 3.1 Lab Investigation

• Analog Scale: error is half the smallest scale division
• Digital Reading: error is the one of the last digits on the reading
• Adding or Subtracting: Add the actual errors
• Multiplying or Dividing: Add the percentage errors
• Power: Multiply the percentage error by the power
